My sister Paulette was an inspiration to me. I remember my first visit to Chicago in 1993, I was so proud to see that my sister had her own business, she was the inspiration that encouraged me to pursue my dreams of having my own business. I am so proud to have had such a beautiful talented sister who changed many many peoples lifes for the better, including my own. Heaven has gained and the world has lost a truly great person. I pray that gods peace and love will be with our family, friends and the people that knew and loved Paulette, better known as Sandra. I am so thankful that we have such a supportive family and I want to thank my sister Patsy for all the care she gave to Paulette during her time of illness. On behalf of myself and family I want to thank everyone for their love and support. I will miss you so much Paulette, god bless you x

The loss of Sandra is felt by so many, the so many people that she touched. To have met Mrs. Sandra means that she touched your spirit in someway, her soul had a powerful presence and she gave so much of herself. She will forever be apart of this life with the footprints she left for her children to follow. May Nic and Alyssa find comfort in her joy’s and their hearts heal knowing their Mother is now their angel above always watching and always guiding them. much love
